This blog features Dr. Menelik Desta, Executive Director of Ethiopia School Readiness Initiative and a representative on the CATALYE T4ECE Ethiopia Task Force. Over the next year, the T4ECE Ethiopia Task Force will work to expand the existing Knowledge Hub, an online repository to collect and share ECDE resources across Ethiopia, and engage in capacity building exercises to strengthen knowledge around early childhood data and measurement. Read more as Dr. Menelik reflects on what is to come as the T4ECE teams works towards building the collective knowledge base of ECE throughout Ethiopia.

This brief provides an overview of country-led T4ECE research projects focused on addressing gaps in evidence and data-driven decision-making in Ethiopia, Liberia, Malawi, Rwanda, and South Africa.

In this blog, we hear from Dr. Menelik Desta, Executive Director of ESRI, and Professor Belay Kibret of Addis Ababa University as they discuss the T4ECE task force team's experience in synthesizing and compiling ECDE evidence and resources in Ethiopia.

As part of the 2022 CIES conference, Together for Early Childhood Evidence led a panel focused on country-led research activities in Ethiopia, Liberia, Rwanda and South Africa that support strengthening and developing effective early childhood monitoring and measurement systems.

This blog highlights the process and experience of building Ethiopia’s first national study of early childhood quality and outcomes using the MELQO.

Four CPDMA taskforce countries (Liberia, Rwanda, South Africa and Ethiopia) have been working together since early 2019 to map out their ECE data systems and develop plans to use data to improve outcomes for children.

The post 2015 context for international development has led to a demand for assessments that measure multiple dimensions of children's school readiness & are feasibly administered in low-resource settings. This study assesses the construct validity of the International Development and Early Learning Assessment developed by Save the Children using data from a sample of children from rural Ethiopia.
